The trials and tribulations of one man's determination to restore a much underloved 1970's classic. Watch with amazement as more old VW beetles are cut up to help this legendary car live. Will he do it, will the revised target date of 12/04/08 be met? Watch this space !

is all landing on my fresh paint ! But I don't care ! The sun is shining, I have the day off work, and Nena is all one colour again.

After weeks of sanding and finding reactions and blemishes I decided I had to get the car in primer. These shots are just after a blast of Bar Coat, which fingers crossed has so far done its job and all previous reactions have disappeared.

The finish isn't great, a little too dry in parts, and very dusty in others, but for my first spraying effort in around 13 years I'm happy.

So, leave it a few hours and blast on some primer - please don't rain !

About Me

34, going on 15. Still love cars as much as I did as a kid. Bordering on OCD at times, or so I am told - I won't let things drop, and have to understand how things work. Sorry Sarah - I am always going to be this way !
